Custom Minifigure Designs?

18 posts in this topic

Is there a program anywhere that allows you to import custom designs for minifigures? I design a lot of decals in my spare time and would like to have a program which allows me to see how they'd look on an actual minifigure so that I can see what needs tweaking before printing. Any help would be greatly appreciated

im surprised that no one has a vector blank Minifigure that you could just lay your stickers over the top of so you could see what they look like.

If your trying to see them in 3d its a little harder then that, but i also dont see why there wouldn't also be floating around a 3d vector minifigure in one angle and then transform the decal onto the body

Well it seems as if that sticker generator would have done the trick, but unfortunately the guy seems to have removed his site I'm having a look round to see if I can find a mirror download link

The download link is correct, it seems the site of the author is down.

Perhaps you can find the software in the LDRAW All in One Installar.

Or perhaps you can try BMP2DAT, another software that should have the same function.

BMP2DAT doesn't run on Windows 7 so I shall try to find an LDRAW all in one installer (I don't seem to be having much luck here )

EDIT: Yeah, I'm really not having much luck. The installer includes Sticker Generator but won't work on my computer either. It goes through the options okay but as soon as it comes to starting the actual install it tells me it cannot create the uninstall file and closes. Think I'm just going to have to give up on this.

So doing the artwork in a Vector program for viewing purposes is nogo?

One program ive used in the past is Quad2Dat but for the life of me i dont remember where i got it. Its buggy and crashes sometimes but ive made alot of custom minifig designs that you can convert to a Ldraw file.
